Innovative Analog IC Design Engineer

Apple Inc.; United States; On-site; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Apple Inc. is seeking a visionary IC Designer to craft analog portions of integrated circuits and validate architectures through behavioral and transistor-level modeling.

You will drive mask design and top-level simulations, define test plans, and perform lab measurements to ensure robust analog designs for production. The role emphasizes deep knowledge of ADC/DAC blocks, noise and precision techniques, device physics, and collaboration with test engineers to deliver design-for-test solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required.
• Expertise in ADC/DAC architectures for analog ICs.
• Knowledge of band-gaps, biasing, op-amps, and switched-cap circuits.
• Experience with C/Matlab/Verilog modeling.
• Strong device physics understanding for analog IC design.
• Proven use of test equipment to validate designs.

Responsibilities

• Involved in specifications of analog portions of IC.
• Behavioral modeling to validate architectures.
• Transistor-level feasibility studies for ADC/DAC blocks.
• Document design towards formal design reviews.
• Drive mask design to implement layout view of designs.
• Top-level simulations to validate top-level integration.
• Defining production/bench-level test-plans.
• Taking lab measurements to validate analog designs.
• Driving/reviewing yield/lab test results to drive bug fixes.
• Design for ESD compliance.
